Race-proven platform in the Kyosho INFERNO MP9e TKI4
The Kyosho 30898 - 1/8 INFERNO MP9e TKI4 Kit EP 4WD reflects Kyosho race engineering, offering an electric buggy chassis tuned for balance and responsiveness. It continues the INFERNO line with targeted upgrades for handling.
Competition pedigree and handling updates
Backed by strong finishes at major events, including a second place at IFMAR, the MP9e TKI4 blends a familiar layout with refinement. Changes like extended front arms and a lowered center of gravity improve stability through fast sections.
Performance-focused components
The 4WD system with a 3-diff shaft drive and double wishbone suspension provides predictable traction and control. Aluminium knuckles and reinforced steering components reduce flex, and heavy-duty driveshafts plus dirt guards minimise wear under harsh conditions.
Tweakable geometry and cooling solutions
Adjustments are straightforward thanks to the new shock stay and upper suspension holder for camber tuning, and the adjustable rear wing gives drivers control over downforce. The precision motor mount helps with heat management and quick servicing between runs.
Kit contents and setup checklist
This kit arrives unassembled with a clear body, decal set and the necessary small parts for construction. To complete the car you will need a radio system, brushless motor, ESC, batteries, charger, wheels and tyres and paint. The chassis accepts a broad range of setups for different track types.
